Summary
Adds a systemd password agent that answers
systemd-ask-passwordqueries via an inotify-watched ask-password directory. Merges the separate polkit panel into a unifiedauthpanel that dispatches between polkit and systemd sources with a priority order (polkit > systemd).Motivation
See #3792 for the related feature request. In a nut shell, this opens up the possibility of responding to many more password prompts with noctalia's auth panel that was previously reserved for polkit.
